The lawsuit was filed by Kim Quatch, who’s seeking at least $50,000 in damages. She was a passenger who was hurt on a Blue Line train that was rammed by an empty, unmanned train Monday in the Chicago suburb of Forest Park.

The crash involving the “ghost train” — as some CTA rail employees dubbed it – caused minor injuries to more than 30 riders Monday morning.

In the emergency recommendations, the NTSB disclosed that the four-car train traveled almost 1 mile downhill through five mechanical train stop mechanisms before reaching the Harlem station, where it struck the standing eight-car train.

Additional details and possible updates can be seen in a variety of media sources, including the NBC Chicago and Chicago Tribune articles mentioned above.
